I have been resisting the urge for a marvellous time now to comment openly on the current state of Nigeria, and particularly on the future of Nigeria. And in what and how many ways and times beyond our conscious perception of them have we done so? On Friday, August 4 this year, this column dwelt on the need for us to befriend silence in Nigeria. Everything then came to me in the floating noon dream of a life in our country. I was again transported to a floating dream of a life in our country – but this time it was a midnight floating dream.
